Yes. This is to make subsequent lines be indented by ada-indent.

That would be one way.

However, in other cases, ( is indented by ada-indent-broken. When
ada-indent = 3 and  ada-indent-broken = 2, the distinction is moot.

Since those are the settings I test with, and that most people use, we
can just change it so ( is always indented by ada-indent-broken.

Would that work for you?

I'm currently doing significant clean up in the ada-wisi.el indent code,
in branch o.e.a.stephe-4. That version makes it much clearer what is going
on here.

As of 84c833df1fbe6c0179ffb6501bf342dc547d9411, all the indent tests
pass, with only a few minor changes from the o.e.ada-mode test cases.

So if you want to actually try this change, I suggest you do it on
o.e.a.stephe-4, near line 406 in ada-wisi.el; just delete the special
case that uses (1- ada-indent).

I have more cleanup to do in that branch, so this is not a formal
request for wide testing of it.
